The late PAUL HUTCHENS, one of evangelical Christianity's most prolific authors, went to be with the Lord on January 23, 1977. Mr. Hutchens, an ordained Baptist minister, served as an evangelist and itinerant preacher for many years. Best known for his Sugar Creek Gang series, Hutchens was a 1927 graduate of Moody Bible Institute. He was the author of 19 adult novels, 36 books in the Sugar Creek Gang series, and several booklets for servicemen during World War II. Mr. Hutchens and his wife, Jane, were married 52 years. They had two children and four grandchildren.

A "Sugar Creek" book is always an excellent read! This series feature a group of hard-working, hungry-eating boys. They all are good comrades with one another and their predicaments usually teach good Christian morals. In "The Blue Cow" one boy learns true patience (for with cows, things go a bit slow) and also forgiveness is learned.
